2. Assume there is a requirement for a new system with a specified performance capability and reliability of 77%. In response to a request for proposal, three supplier configurations have been proposed and are reflected in the figures below. Configuration X 4610-08 Configuration Y NHO Configuration 2 Dhe The component reliability factors are presented in the following table: Component Component H N Component Reliability A 0.90 B 0.86 0.83 D 0.86 0.87 0.82 Reliability 0.87 0.88 0.89 0.86 0.85 0.80 Reliability 083 0.85 0.84 0.93 0.89 O P Q The overall cost associated with each of the supplier proposals is $132,000 for Configuration X, $79,000 for Configuration Y, and $105,000 for Configuration Z. a) Determine the system reliability for each of the three configurations. b) In evaluating the three alternatives, employing cost-effectiveness criteria, which configuration would you select as being preferred? 2.
